A’Sandra: And now, I would like to make a suggestion. When you begin to [[feel]], on any level, the kinds of things we just spoke about, recognize how many [[opportunities]] you have to step into the cool, uplifting waters of [[the Father]]’s [[Love]]. [[Beauty]] is in itself, a [[magnifier]], and an uplifter. Its [[purpose]] is to help to raise you above your despair or [[boredom]]; raise you to a level up a bit higher, where your [[thoughts]] can become spiritized.

Close your eyes, if they are not closed and see with me. You’re driving out in the [[country]], and at first you’re just driving, mindless driving, but suddenly your [[mind]] catches what your eye has seen. You’ve seen something [[beautiful]]! Everything is beautiful in it’s own way; the shape of a tree, the dappled pattern that the sun puts upon meadows as it filters through the leaves of large trees, is in itself, a [[dance]]. The flowers that are blooming all around, and about this time of year; how often do you stop to smell them –to look at one [[intimately]] – and [[appreciate]] the [[beauty]] [[the Father]] has given you in [[abundance]]?

[[Music]] is also readily available to most of you. Picking up a [[picture]] album lets you go back through the pages of [[time]], and puts you back in [[touch]] with moments of your children’s lives, perhaps, or especially poignant moments along your own [[path]] that were marked by one celebration or another. And then of course, going within and attempting to still your [[mind]] and allow yourself to lie back within the [[support]] of the loving [[embrace]] of [[your Father]]. All, and any of these measures, as well as countless others, will lift you above that momentary moment of [[depression]], or [[anger]], or even simple [[boredom]].

[[The Father]] has given you, provided for you, many [[tools]], would you but use them. And so, I would like to close this session, encouraging each of you, over the next week, to first begin to pay [[attention]], once again, to those inner nudges, make yourself be [[aware]] of them – and you do have that [[control]]. Make a note of them, write it down if you must, how many times did you [[listen]] and follow? How many times did you choose not to follow? How many times have you changed your [[mind]], and followed? These are such important [[signs]] of your own inner [[growth]], that I recommend it to each of you. For when doing this, you are instantly creating an open [[connection]] to your Father, with your Father.

That is one suggestion. The second suggestion is that when you find yourself in those places of [[disharmony]], reach for the gifts that will benefit you the most. Do not reach for half measures, something that [[satisfies]] the physical [[body]], and so [[fools]] you into believing it has also served on other levels. [[Treat]] yourself to a bath of [[sunshine]]; [[listen]] for the trill of the birds. If you can get outside, do so when you are [[feeling]] this way – if you cannot, perhaps a poster put up in an advantageous position, near your work [[space]] – one that allows you to move into it, something with some depth – this could serve to [[connect]] you to these gifts of which I speak. I did leave out one thing, you could also spend that time connecting with one of your brothers or sisters; connecting on a slightly raised level than is your [[normal]] [[habit]].

So be [[good]] to yourself, over this next week. [[Listen]] to [[the Father]]. Be open to recognizing your willingness to walk the [[path]] with Him and allow Him to take you by the hand and replenish your batteries – refill you with that most special [[elixir]] that comes from [[union]] with Him – through these gifts. I will open the floor very briefly, as I realize we have a time constraint, but if there are questions, I will certainly attempt to answer them.
